Polymeric Conductive Materials for Energy Storage

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer-based conductive materials are garnering attention as promising candidates for energy storage due to their flexibility, lightweight nature, and tunable electrochemical properties. Conductive polymers, such as polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy), exhibit high electrical conductivity and environmental stability, making them suitable for application in batteries and supercapacitors. Their ability to undergo reversible doping and dedoping processes facilitates efficient charge storage and delivery. Recent advancements in polymer engineering, such as the formation of nanocomposites and their hybridization with other conductive materials, have further enhanced their performance, improving their energy density and cycling stability. Additionally, the processability and low cost of polymer-based materials make them an attractive alternative to conventional metal-based systems. As the demand for flexible and sustainable energy storage solutions grows, polymer-based conductive materials are positioned to play a key role in next-generation energy storage technologies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
